Medsafe is today expected to front an inquest into deaths linked to epilepsy
23 February 2021
It's the second round of the inquest, which is looking at the deaths of six people with epilepsy who died when the brand of their government-funded medication was changed.
Herald health reporter Emma Russell says today should be interesting ... because Medsafe had previously warned Pharmac against switching brands.
She says Medsafe said such a move should be avoided wherever possible.
But Russell says until today, Medsafe hasn't commented much specifically in relation to these deaths.
